Consumers who have purchased one of these products are urged to return the item to IKEA where they will receive a full refund.

This is not the first time an item manufactured by IKEA has been the subject of a recall.

As recently as June, IKEA issued a massive recall for the Malm series dressers and chests due to a tipping hazard. This recall involved an astounding 29 million items.

Speaking to NBC, Lars Peterson, president of IKEA USA, said upon learning of the deaths of three children the company has stopped selling the dressers and chests.

One child fatally injured was Curren Collas, a 2-year-old.

Curren’s mother stated she entered the child’s bedroom to dress him but was unable to find him. She then noticed the dresser had fallen over.

She went on to say, “I didn’t see him anywhere, so I went over and kind of pulled everything apart.” That’s when she said she noticed the top of her son’s head. He had been pinned between the dresser and the bed.

As a result of these deaths, IKEA issued a statement saying, “It is clear that there are still unsecured products in customers’ homes. We believe that taking further action is the right thing to do.”
